Glass Masquerade, or how to turn a video game into a work of art

Glass Masquerade

I have been planning to play this one for a while, and finally got around to it since I was in the mood for something short (3.5 hours according to HLTB, which probably didn’t take the DLCs into account) and oh boy, I sure was in for a great time.

This game was beautiful in every sense. The art was really well done to the point my main motivation to finish a certain puzzle was just to see the resulting art piece and the soundtrack enhanced the experience a lot. It also helped to keep myself relaxed despite some puzzles being a bit frustrating (the DLC ones sure cranked up the difficulty a bit).

There were some levels that felt a tad harder than the stated difficulty (3 stars my ass xD) while some others felt quite easier than it should be given the stated difficulty (mainly Indonesia) but overall it was a great game. I’ll probably play the second game sometime soon-ish

Honestly I think it depends on whether you’re a fan of jigsaw puzzles or not. If you like them (like in my case) then you’re definitely going to enjoy the game, but I’m not sure you’d like it as much if you aren’t.
